Collaboration implies that "the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few or the needs of the one" and sometimes people aren’t really interested in living by that principle

Collaboration isn’t always the best process

Collaboration is not equal to Web 2.0

Collaboration can be a source of real value in the face of complex environments and situations where no single person has the right answer

That's all there is to it, but it does a great job of saying some things that have been running around my head lately.

#4 happens to strike me today. I've seen calls for "better collaboration" without the understanding that the people who are expected to collaborate are being measured and motivated by different systems. While they may understand what needs to be done, their behavior is driven by different measures.
